Madeinca.ca describes it as a small, woman-owned Canadian business, and no acquisition, investor, or parent company turned up anywhere. A federal Corporations Canada search for the name returned zero results, so it is most likely a BC provincial registration, which I could not check directly (no fetch-friendly BC Registry search).

Manufacturing

The vendor's own pages say planners are made in Toronto with a lot of production done in-house, and it partners with family-owned Canadian manufacturers; madeinca.ca corroborates production split across BC and Ontario. No mention of any printing or binding done outside Canada.

Careers and Our Story pages returned 404, so team size and composition could not be confirmed beyond the founder.

The vendor states its paper comes from FSC-certified, Ancient Forest Friendly mills and prioritizes local Canadian suppliers, with keepsake boxes and mailers made in Canada from FSC-certified materials; "prioritizing" implies some non-Canadian sourcing, which I could not pin down, so the OTHER share is an estimate.
